Just an idea: what about using SVG for callouts? It would be easy
to add something like this to fo/callouts.xsl:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-width="0.5em" baseline-shift="super">
<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&quot;
height="1cm" width="1cm"
viewBox="-1 -1 2 2" stroke="none">
<svg:circle fill="black" r="1"/>
<svg:text style="font: bold 1.5 Times; fill:white" text-anchor="middle" y="0.5">
<xsl:value-of select="$conum"/>
</svg:text>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
This would produce callouts in vector format, and free us from worries about upper limits.
Other benefits are ease of styling, and possibility to use non-digital numbering for callouts.
Sure, it would take longer to process, but the resulting PDF will be smaller, and numbers
will be searchable. Does it sound appealing?
